12.30  Yuris Zhagars. WAVES – INCOMPREHENSIBLE PHENOMENON OF NATURE
In nature we encounter waves in such variety of forms and inconsistent shapes that we most often must accept them as they are, without understanding them entirely. In the context of Nature Sciences and Philosophy research Yuris Zhagars will introduce the duality of waves and substances found in nature, as well as the controversial properties of waves – the main reason behind their incomprehensibility.
